Figure Lengend Snippet: Principle of the BMO-MRA calculation in Spectralis SP-X VWM software. Figure 1a Graphical model; between every two B-scans, the local BMO-based minimum rim area is calculated as a trapezoid covering the minimum area between the internal limiting membrane (ILM) and Bruch ’ s membrane opening (BMO); Global and sectorial BMO-MRA values are determined by the addition of respective local minimum rim area results; model displays extreme tilt between two segments for purpose of illustration; BMO, Bruch ’ s membrane opening; BMO-MRA, BMO-based minimum rim area. (Note: graphical model modified from a version published previously ; (figure created with Microsoft Powerpoint of Microsoft Office Plus 2010, Microsoft Corporation).

Article Snippet: To determine the impact of such discontinuities on the resulting BMO-MRA parameter, Heidelberg Engineering provided an alternative computation of the continuous minimum rim surface (BMO-gMRA) within their Spectralis SP-X software for scientific use.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Principle the BMO-gMRA calculation in Spectralis SP-X VWM software. Graphical model; The gMRA surface is locally discretized in each SD-OCT star scan sector i as two adjacent triangles with areas ∆ i 1 and ∆ i 2. While BMO positions remain fixed during optimization, the position of BMO-ILM connections (i.e., the arrow in the OCT image) is optimized along the ILM segmentation line of the star. In this approach, global optimization is performed in all (typically 48) degrees of freedom simultaneously. BMO, Bruch’s membrane opening; BMO-gMRA, BMO-based globally optimized minimum rim area (Figure created with Microsoft Powerpoint of Microsoft Office Plus 2010, Microsoft Corporation).
